Arrow QUALITY article site specifically for virtual assistants
There are SO many junky article directories out there - they're full of poorly-written and inaccurate material about virtual assistants and it can be hard to find the *real* virtual assistant articles. This site will allow you to get the backlinks you're looking for without sacrificing quality because it only accepts well-written articles with accurate info regarding virtual assistants. And you won't find a single byline from a $5/hour VA "service center" in India or the Phillipines, etc.

From the site (which is run in a blog format, with only one post/article per day max):

Are you a virtual assistant with startup advice, information and resources to share? Looking for an SEO-friendly place to share your articles, blog posts, press releases, and newsletters? Consider submitting your work for publication to the Start a Virtual Assistant Business website.

All published pieces will be accompanied by a complete author byline which will include your name, virtual assistant business name, your professional bio, and a direct link back to your virtual assistant business website.

Submissions must be relevant to the virtual assistant industry, well-written, grammatically correct and free of typos or spelling errors.


You can submit your articles here.

Thank you for this resource.

I've been hesitant to post articles to the article marketing sites due to recent changes to Google's reassessment of the traditional ezine sites.

I appreciate this opportunity.

Thanks for sharing. I have not got around to doing much article marketing and it was good to hear that the recent Google changes have affected article sites too, as I had not heard about that one.

Thanks for sharing this resource Tess. I'll be taking a look at the site and submit articles soon.

I think the VAs from developing countries such as India work for BPO companies or call centers, which is why they have very low rates. I'm from the Philippines but I'm a freelancer so I charge way higher.

Thanks, Tess. I've been on an article writing spree lately, mainly for other people, but I would love to contribute to a VA based directory for my own.
